Nokia 6 Wi-Fi Connection 'Disabled', won't hold a connection

[Android Central Question]

I just purchased a new Nokia 6 (not a 6.1), and I cannot get it to connect to my home Wi-Fi for more than 20sec, if it even connects at all. Most of the time it shows 'Disabled' beneath the network name, otherwise 'Saved' instead.

I've tried restarting the phone several times. It's a fresh phone, only the default apps installed.

This might be an issue with my home Wi-Fi (which frequently disappears, then reappears, on the phone's network list despite having a very strong signal when it does show up), but I can't test/confirm this on other Wi-Fi networks until tomorrow.

If this is a common issue with the Nokia 6, is there a way to fix it? I have many system updates waiting but don't have unlimited data. (The data connection is strong and works just fine btw, it's Wi-Fi that's causing trouble). Googling mostly brings up Nokia 6.1 results.

Thanks for any help.

Definitely try other wifi spots to determine if it's your home wifi. Have you tried rebooting your house wifi?

Sorry about that, registered. I tried rebooting my Wi-Fi and no luck. I'll test out other networks and see it they have the same issue.

Ok let's wait until you test out more wifi spots .
